If it successfully prevents a takedown then I humbly believe that there should be a penalty. Fence grab there for Magana which prevents a takedown.Magana fights out of Puerto Rico? That’s cool! I know I’m Dominican and DR/PR are supposed to have some kind of rivalry but honestly, I got love for all of my Latinos.Amanda Cooper vs Angela Magana (Women’s Strawweight bout).Alhassan “defeats” Homasi in 4:21 of round 1.However, Herb is one of the best refs but he is also a human and humans make errors from time to time. Definitely a premature stoppage and Homasi has a right to be angry. But from Herb Dean’s vantage point it looked like Homasi could have been turtling up. Homasi got clipped a few times and fell to the ground but it wasn’t a shot that did it. Looks like the ref stopped the fight prematurely.Sabah Homasi vs Abdul Razak Alhassan (Welterweight bout).Reyes defeats Kimball in 3:39 of round 1.Reyes lands some devastating elbows on the ground which allows him to choke out Kimball.Jeremy Kimball vs Dominick Reyes (Light Heavyweight bout).Willis goes cuss crazy in his post-fight interview but the guy’s got that street charisma.Willis beats Crowder by KO in 2:33 of round 1.It’s that punch that lets Willis finish him off. Willis lands a left on Crowder that gets him wobble-sauced.Allen Crowder vs Justin Willis (Heavyweight bout).My Picks: Willis, Reyes, Alhassan, Cooper, Herrig, Teymur, Oliveira, Felder, Torres, Alvarez, Cejudo, Ngannou, Holloway In order to spice things up, I’m going to do some of that for this show. Superstars with significantly higher attributes than their opponents can cause a squash match to occur, putting their opponents in a situation where they must mount a considerable offense to survive or suffer crushing defeat.One thing I like to do with the guys over at the livestream chat is to do Pick ’ems. Lastly, new match types like 8-man matches will make their way into Universe Mode along with match types created by players using the Custom Match feature of the Creation Suite.Īs you’re playing through matches, there’s a chance that one Superstar completely outclasses and overwhelms their opponents from the very start. The goals vary from retaining a title to reforming a past tag team, and each goal will have an impact on the match types specific wrestlers get involved in. Superstar Goals is a brand new addition to the mode that will add motivation aside from winning a championship to a superstar’s profile. This allows low-powered Superstars to fight their way to championships and match up with the best of them or turn an already powerful Superstar into an unstoppable force. Power Rankings will allow Superstars to achieve these kinds of runs by boosting them with temporary attribute bonuses if they can climb high enough in the Power Rankings. Something we wanted to represent in Universe Mode is how some Superstars push past their limits and go on an unstoppable run, as well as how the underdogs can fight their way up to the very top to win and defend championship gold. Sometimes it can be easy to lose track of rising talent, but the Power Rankings will hopefully help with that issue. Power Rankings were added to Universe Mode this year to give players an idea of who the best superstars in your company are. The back-end of the mode is now better equipped to handle multiple PPVs in a single month, according the 2K Sports. Outside of the feuds in the mode, there’s also a better utilization of the brand split that returned to WWE television in 2016. Very High (Red): The rivalry has become hostile, with Superstars attacking each other.
High (Orange): Rivals are resorting to and responding with cheap shots and distractions against each other.
Medium (Yellow): Rivals are disrespectful and confrontational or growing frustrated from being on the losing end.
